Joseph Wood Krutch bol americký spisovateľ a kritik, ktorý sa preslávil svojimi dielami o ekológii a prírodnom prostredí juhozápadnej púšte. Jeho práce sa často zameriavajú na ekologické problémy, históriu púštnej krajiny a jej prírodnú históriu. Krutchov štýl sa vyznačuje hlbokým pozorovaním a vášnivou obhajobou ochrany prírody. Jeho písanie pozýva čitateľov k zamysleniu nad naším vzťahom k prírodnému svetu a k pochopeniu jeho krehkej krásy.






Exploring profound existential questions, this book delves into the nature of identity and self-awareness. It invites readers to reflect on their own existence and the essence of being. Through thought-provoking insights and philosophical discourse, the narrative challenges conventional understandings and encourages a deeper contemplation of what it means to be human.
With their call for "Simplicity, simplicity, simplicity!," for self-honesty, and for harmony with nature, the writings of Henry David Thoreau are perhaps the most influential philosophical works in all American literature. The Selections in this volume represent Thoreau at his best. Included in their entirety are Walden, his indisputable masterpiece, and his two great arguments for nonconformity, "Civil Disobedience" and "Life Without Principle." A lifetime of brilliant observation of nature–and of himself–is recorded in selections from A Week on the Concord and Merrimack Rivers, Cape Cod, The Maine Woods, and the Journal.
